Episode 16 Screencaps and Summary

Spoiler:

Well Shirou certainly proved him powers this episode, and his harem just grew by one more.
Plenty of fanservice this week, including Saber in the bath and a shot of Rin's legs.

They're going for an original anime scenario it seems (unless my memory is completely fscked up)
since Caster is going after

Spoiler:

Sakura

Guess that's the most elegant way of giving her some more screentime.

[Xellos-_^]

Looking at how both Archer and Berserker disappear in sparkles. I can't help but being remind that we never saw Rider go sparkle. I sayt he chances of Rider coming back gets better and better.

[Freakman]

I say no to that though.

Spoiler for suppositions / nothing game based:

Caster would know if Rider was around Sakura and thus wouldn't target her ?
Rider was wiped clean by Excalibur, stop clinging to her

Hell no theres so much to grab onto that i can't stop

Caster can't be looking everywhere all the time. I mean she has to do the laundry, buy gorceries, make breakfast/lunch and dinner. As far she knows Rider's "master" was killed by Berserker so she wouldn't even bother looking for her.

[Shiroth]

Having Rider come back to save Sakura from Caster would be pretty cool, but Rider's dead.. deaddeaddead. ^^;

[Tabris]

Heat! I'm going to download the raw after a quick gaming session. This will be my first RAW (I found it pointless because of quick subbing, but I want to watch this episode bad)

Spoiler:

Can't wait to see Ilya in Shirou's house

[gammaoh]

Ok, that eppy was good. I give it a 9 for the ubber fan-service.


Shirou's Imaging is getting better. And the dual attack with Caliburn was well done. I also appreciated the fact that Shirou took on Berserker on his own and cut an arm off.

Saber is obviously getting jealous because she can't keep Shirou for herself. It's so cute

Ilya comes at Shirou's and even ends up in his bed (actually, he was pretty surprised and so was Saber when they discovered that she was in his bed).
Ok, I see you coming you lolicon pervs!

We got the training session which was little fan-service (a blushing Saber) then the UBB3R fan-service scene : the bath scene where Saber is embarassed when Shirou pops in the bathroom. They have a little talk concerning Shirou's visions and stuff.

Rin does mention something about Excalibur sheath.

Shirou trains at imaging Caliburn which he would have succeeded to do if Saber hadn't interrupted to lecture him... That is to say "you should value your life a bit more".

Caster and Souichirou get on stage. They witness Berserker's death and target Sakura. It's a good way to give her some screentime which she obviously lack so far BTW.

I hope this won't lead to Darth Vader (you know what I mean...) which would be pretty lame IMO. HF can't be squeezed in the anime plot if you ask me.

look again we are already there

And you know who would be a great idea.

You might want to edit out Dark You Know Who's name or else the mods wil ldo it for you. Thats a game spoiler and not allow on the anime thread.

[gammaoh]

Ok, I edited it out.

[MakubeX2]

Does anybody else find the way Shirou and Saber takes out Berserker chessy ?

It's not something I've imagined it will be like from the game, the animated version looks more like a scene from Casshern. I had expected it to be more epic than just a single stab......

Anyway, it was nice of them to add that Saber Ataraxia ofuro scene.

Yes, I believe so.

It was alright, could have been a lot better imo.

I have to admit, i really adored the amount of emotional Saber was showing in the episode - can't wait for this subbed.

Yes... that's what I was trying to say. She does seem to show feelings for Shirou. I loved the scene where she gets angry when washing the plates...

Does everyone agree that she's showing signs of jealousy? Love's first stone.

Indeed, she just wants Shirou for herself. ^^

I liked how they added the bath scene from F/HA.. if only they'd add Saber playing football, hehe.

[DwArD]

Just woke up and read the summary. Damn.....they're targetting Sakura!? Sakura's one of my fav character in the anime so I'm hoping nothing bad will happen to her. And even though Rider's gone, I won't dispel the possibility of Rider coming back as Sakura's servent. It'll be great to see Rider back but her coming back will mean Sakura becoming a master. I somehow doesn't want to see Sakura becoming a master. I'll prefer her getting rescued or something by Shirou.

Spoiler for from episode 12:

Recall Sakura saw the Excalibur blast from her window, and said something that we didn't hear. It's very likely 戻れ, and if it is, it means she already has been a Master for some time, and used one of her real Command Spells to bring Rider out of the blast. Of course, the side-effect is that Shinji loses his "spells".

Spoiler for from episode 16:

Nothing was said about it being dangerous for Shirou to image Caliburn?

I'm saying its more along the lines of her saying "Goodbye."

[stormy001_M1A2]

My o my, fanservice. Just fanservice factor.

Next ep, Saber fighting an unexpected opponent. I do wonder how different story will go from here. Perhaps more role for Sakura than usual damsel in distress?
